Comments on: A Great Example Of The Power of Citizens in Democracy http://www.tanveernaseer.com/power-of-citizens-democracy/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=power-of-citizens-democracy Business Coach and Writer Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:37:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tanveer Naseerhttp://www.tanveernaseer.com/power-of-citizens-democracy/#comment-46 Tanveer Naseer Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:26:55 +0000 http://tanveernaseer.wordpress.com/?p=780#comment-46 Thanks, Marjorie, for the vote of confidence in helping to raise voter knowledge of such important issues like health care. Indeed, I must admit that it seems that many people will once again base their choice of candidate less on substance and more on aesthetics and emotional appeal. Regardless, that doesn't mean we all shouldn't try to get the information out there in hopes that some will read it and opt to make an informed decision when they go to the polls.

However, while most people are well aware of the immense challenges facing our health system (rising costs of medical care, malpractice, high prescription drug costs, medical bankruptcies, employers dropping coverage, 47 million uninsured Americans, etc.), they have less understanding of the specific solutions proposed by Senators Obama and McCain. We invite you to write a post about the topic of health care in ’08. There are clear policy differences between the Obama and McCain plans, who come from two differing philosophies on health care reform. “HealthDecision ’08: Obama and McCain on Health Care” is an initiative by HealthCare.com (http://www.healthcare.com) to help potential voters understand each candidate’s position. It is an objective comparison of the two platforms, and provides analysis as to the strengths and weaknesses of each. Most importantly, HealthDecision ’08 provides an interactive voting tool that allows users to “vote” for a preferred plan. HealthDecision can be accessed at http://decision.healthcare.com/obama-mccain/. HealthDecision ’08 will provide you with much of the primary research with which to form a post. In addition, we provide you with links to third-party election coverage from Health08.org, NPR, The New England Journal of Medicine, NY Times, National Journal, U.S. News, WebMD and many other sites, that may serve as supplemental information sources. I hope you’ll join us in our effort to raise voter understanding on this very important issue. We hope that you will use our information, and also link your readers to our site in order to have their voices heard. Thank you.
